And so… K-Dramaland’s latest ~healing~ and all-around feel-good series Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha a.k.a. ‘HomCha’ came to an end over the weekend, and wow—it was a damn good finale that served happy tears, sad tears, fits of laughter, and, of course, loads and loads of kilig moments, all the while wrapping everything up nicely.
But, we’re not here to give you a lengthy review of the show’s last episode (trust us, we can go on about this forever). We are here to give you a list of stuff that will hijack your wallets and bank accounts for, perhaps, a souvenir to keep the memories of Gongjin alive and close to your heart for a long time. Yep, it’s budol time!
Check out these eight Hometown-Cha-Cha-Cha merch items that fans will absolutely love:
Official O.S.T. Album
If you couldn’t take the earworm that is Car, The Garden’s revival of J.ISLAND’s dreamy and breezy track ‘Romantic Sunday,’ just go all out and purchase the official O.S.T. album of HomCha! This gem of a package doesn’t just include two CD plates containing 32 tracks and 43 scores from the show, but also a 100-page photobook, postcards, character photocards, and more!
Photo Essay Book
Relive your favorite moments from the series through this special photo essay book! Flip through pages and pages of stills from HomCha’s well-loved scenes and never-before-seen photos that will give you an insider’s look into the production of the show. It will also feature messages from the cast and crew, as well as reviews and real-life stories from viewers around the world who have been touched and inspired by the drama. As a treat to fans, copies from the first press of the essay book will be signed by the show’s writer, director, and our favorite dimple couple, Shin Min Ah and Kim Seon Ho.

Zuodu Umbrella
Hyejin’s designer outfits and accessories are a bit too pricey for most of us, but here’s some good news for you: You can actually buy her trusty umbrella, which—compared to the other stuff she’s seen using on the show—is quite affordable. Emphasis on “quite” because who are we kidding here? Anything priced over 1k can make us flinch in this economy.
SikHye Notepads
Stop pinning mental notes and put your reminders down on paper. These SikHye notepads by ohgeedoodles will add a burst of color to your workspace or study table.
Hometown Cha Cha Cha-inspired Jewelry
Make a statement with these HomCha-inspired necklaces from Quirky Avenue. Now, if only we’ve got a Chief Hong to craft us a special wooden jewelry box for these trinkets. *sigh*
